Take Charge of Your Outside Lighting with Modern Outdoor Lights by Kichler

Fun Facts: The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga for the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen).

“According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed.”

If you will not be leaving home on Friday the 13th, be certain to plan ahead and surround yourself with the security of comforting lights by Kichler and others top lighting manufactures.

Expertly planned outside and landscape lighting not only provide home safety and security, they dramatically increase the beauty and value of your property.

Do not fear the dark and unknown: Illuminate It!

You are not alone.  The lighting experts at Capitol are available to shield you from the darkness and help take the fear out of home decorating.

Whether you are superstitious or not, great fortune comes to those who are unafraid to act on their most illuminating ideas.  Capitol Lighting’s professional consultants will custom design a lighting scheme to upgrade your home with the latest, most energy-efficient and eye-appealing styles. 

Uniquely designed decorative lamps and modern outdoor fixtures work with varying degrees of light to enhance the beauty of your environment from sun up to sun down.  The right outside lighting is especially captivating at night to extend living space and provide added ambience.

Capitol Lighting expert recommendations:

• Beware of Glare:  Improperly illuminated areas create glare and discomfort which, in turn, negatively affect your appearance and mood.  Rooms that are sun-filled during the day require soft, diffused illumination at night.  Choose dimmable portable lamps for general illumination. Additional task or accent lighting may be tastefully delivered with decorative reading lamps and stylish mini-pendants.
• Protect and Preserve the Natural and Super-natural:  Choose shielded fixtures and natural textures to work with the changing degrees light.  Look for outside lighting products that are “Dark Sky” compliant*, energy-efficient and durable. 
• Be Bold Where it Counts:  Pops of color can change the vibe of a room and bring new life to the décor.  Select lamps that express your unique taste and aesthetic vision.  The latest finishes abound with imaginative color combinations and inventive structural compositions.
• Knowledge Defies Superstition:  Thoughtfully chosen fixtures are the key to favorable results.  Consult with certified lighting professionals to be sure items are suitable for outdoor or damp locations. 

* ‘Dark Sky’ compliant fixtures are designed to focus artificial light downward in an effort to curb light pollution and preserve the nighttime environment.  A most plentiful view of the stars and planets above should never have to compete with your outdoor lighting design.  Thoughtfully chosen and properly installed outdoor fixtures will provide understated elegance to compliment your home environment.
